- is practical, reliable and able to turn their hand to a range of tasks
- has experience in a similar environment (housing, estates, maintenance or grounds work)
- can communicate well with residents and take a proactive approach to solving problems
If you want a hands‑on role where you can see the results of your work and make a real difference to local communities, we’d love to hear from you.
